I was tempted not to type my opinion in.
I'm undecided, I'd certainly want to see the second autopsy before jumping on either bandwagon for a few reasons.

1) Labs make mistakes, more then the general public would believe (personal sources and experiences), for a few years now I've had major tests ran at different labs when it involves me or my family. The ME doesn't usually run the tests, he or she take the samples bundles them up and ships them to a lab (at least thats the procedure where I live).

2) After almost 2 decades of running the highways and byways for a living I've seen people drive down major roads and highways the wrong way more times then I'd want to count. And yes sometimes I've helped pickup the pieces and testify in court as to what I saw and did. Actually I almost did it myself once because of a misplaced sign when a road was under going some repairs.

3) Yes most women tend to suicide with drugs/poison (according to statistics anyways) but who is to say she didn't just snap because of something that happened on the way to where she was going?

4) Drinking that much AND doing drugs and then driving on a highway with not only her own children but her nieces as well makes me just a bit skeptical, not nearly enough to rule it out mind you but it does raise a flag in my mind.

5) Why would she leave her cell phone behind like that? Or did I just misread something? "On Sunday, July 26, Long Island resident Diane Schuler left her cell phone near the bridge before driving a van carrying her three nieces and own two children the wrong way on the Taconic State Parkway."

I dunno, if I was on a jury with this case with the evidence so far presented I doubt if I could make a decision.
